  • Kendo Diagram Double Click Example

    This article is an example of the Kendo Diagram Component with a double click event handler. The framework used is the Kendo UI for jQuery. This example builds upon the Kendo Diagram Example. After we were tasked to create a link graph, we must now handle a double click event on a shape.

    Here are the requirements:

    1. Show shape ID and Name when a shape is double clicked
    2. Zoom level must not change on double click

    Here is our solution. You can edit the code below using any text editor but I prefer Visual Studio Code. Make sure you are connected to the Internet because the code pulls the Kendo library from the Telerik CDN. Take note that this is just a demonstration code and you’ll need to purchase a license if you are going to use Kendo UI for jQuery for more than just evaluation purposes.

    The two main points here are:

    1. By default, Kendo Diagram zooms in when we double click. So we capture the event in zoomStart and prevent it from propagating.
    2. Kendo Diagram does not provide a double click event API. So we had to bind it manually using jQuery and find the shape based on its position.
